Day by day
Nairobi
Welcome to Kenya! On your arrival in Nairobi, a representative will meet and assist you through immigration and customs before your Wildlife Safari guest manager escorts you by private vehicle to Hemingways Nairobi. Settle in and recover from your international flight with the rest of the day at your leisure.
Chyulu Hills
Enjoy breakfast before a road transfer to Wilson Domestic Airport for your light aircraft flight. Arrive at Ol Donyo Lodge, where you’ll wake up to the view of distant Mount Kilimanjaro as well as the nearby waterhole, with its regular visitors, and not to forget sleeping out in your very own star bed. Settle in and relax before heading out on your first game drive. Return, freshen up and enjoy dinner at the lodge.
Chyulu Hills
Rise and shine, it’s time to explore. Enjoy morning and early evening game drives on open-sided 4×4 vehicles, guided bush walks, bush breakfast and dinners, wildlife viewing in open-air and sunken hides, to name but a few. In-between exciting activities take some time to relax, enjoy a siesta or a dip in your private pool. After dinner, end your night off under the starlit African sky.
Samburu
An early morning game drive and breakfast before you head off on a flight to Samburu via Nairobi. You’ll be welcomed and transferred to Elephant Watch Camp, standing in the woodlands on the Ewayso Nyiro River. Take some time to relax and get comfortable before heading off on an afternoon game drive in Samburu. Return to camp for dinner and drinks around the crackling campfire.
Samburu
Wake up to the chirping birds and the rising sun, enjoy a coffee and head out on a game drive to explore the rugged Samburu landscape and its wildlife. Due to the pioneering elephant conservation efforts, Samburu’s elephant herds allow the camp’s vehicles right into their family groups. The guides are also big cat experts, so you can expect some amazing wildlife viewing while you are here. Between game drives, enjoy meals and time to relax around camp.
Masai Mara
Depart after breakfast, to Samburu airstrip, for your flight to the Masai Mara. Immediately begin game viewing as you drive past herds of wildlife on the vast savannah plains, en-route to Elewana Sand River Masai Mara, set on a quiet and scenic site on the Sand River. Take some time to settle in before enjoying a late afternoon game drive, followed by dinner and a crackling fire at camp.
Masai Mara
Wake at the crack of dawn and head off in your 4×4 safari vehicle for some of the Masai Mara’s exceptional game viewing. Witness the sun rising over the savannah grasslands, the silhouette of giraffe, elephant, wildebeest – and many more – on the horizon. Return to camp and absorb the views of plains and hills of the Masai Mara, scattered with thousands of animals. Back out into the bush for your afternoon game drive, perhaps, the Big-5 is on the cards this afternoon? Enjoy dinner before winding down next to the campfire under a starry African sky.
Masai Mara
As dawn starts to break, enjoy another game drive through the Masai Mara. Spotting zebra, topi, eland, impala, to name but a few, and always keeping an eye out for lions, leopards and cheetahs, found in greater concentrations in the Masai Mara than anywhere else in Africa. Enjoy a leisurely afternoon before heading out on your next game spotting expedition while the sun sets over the African bush. Enjoy dinner, a drink and a log fire.
Depart
Enjoy a last morning game drive and breakfast back at camp before departing to the airstrip for your flight to Wilson Domestic Airport. You’ll be met by your Wildlife Safari Representative and transferred to Jomo Kenyatta International Airport for your onward travel arrangements.

Destinations on this trip
Kenya has as good a claim as anywhere to being the country where modern safaris began, and where they’re done best, and it still regularly features high on travel magazines ‘must-visit’ lists. Kenya has been doing what it does best for decades, and yet there’s always something new to discover on Kenya safaris.
